Abstract: A wireless local loop communications system includes a digital subscriber line access multiplexer connected to a plurality of network terminals wherein each network terminal provides multi-session local loop access for user communications. A shared point to multi-point wireless communications link connects the digital subscriber line access multiplexer to the plurality of network terminals. Regulation of user and session access to the shared wireless communications link is effectuated by a session dispatcher functionality. That functionality utilizes a dispatcher at each network terminal that operates responsive to received commands to regulate user and session access to the shared wireless communications link. A proxy agent for the functionality at the access multiplexer operates responsive to configuration data to determine (a) which network terminal and (b) which sessions being handled thereby are to be granted access rights to the shared communications link and issue commands to the dispatcher to implement that determined allocation.

Abstract: A method for improving the availability and reliability of a computer clustering system having first and second servers that are connected to each other by a communication link and that each have an associated mass storage device. In one implementation, the method begins when the first server detects a loss of communication over the communication link from the second server to the first server that prevents the servers from communicating with each other. The first server then analyzes the communication link to determine if the communication link is functioning properly. If the communication link is functioning properly, then the first server continues operation, assuming a right to survive without communicating with the second server or with the mass storage device of the first server or with the mass storage device of the second server, and the first server services network requests that would otherwise be serviced by the second server.

Abstract: Increased and potentially extreme compression of documents is achieved by reducing/remapping the dynamic range of the document image possibly together with further image analysis and pre-processing and storing the document together with a substituted table of values chosen to restore or enhance the dynamic range of the document image. Increased or extreme compression is provided notwithstanding multiple image tones (e.g. colors or grey scale levels) even at low contrast within a document, such as a personal check. Such increased compression allows document images to be maintained in rapid-access memory for extended periods without increased storage costs.

Abstract: A network server having a current lower packet-interfacing layer and a current upper packet-processing layer is updated by providing an updated process having an updated packet-interfacing lower layer, an updated packet-processing upper layer packets, and a communication channel for diverting network packets from the updated lower layer to the current upper layer. First the current lower layer is replaced with the updated lower layer. Then the packets in the updated lower layer are checked to determine if they relate to transactions already under way on the current upper layer or new transactions. The current upper layer processes the packets relating to transactions already under way, and the packets relating to new transactions are processed the updated upper layer. When all the under-way transactions on the current upper layer have been completed the communication channel is closed.

Abstract: A facsimile machine for single sheets comprises an ink-jet printing head (54) and a line feed device (41) mounted upstream of the printing line (59) to make the sheet (50) advance incrementally. A technical problem of the machine is that of printing adjacent to a trailing edge of the sheet, and that it should be of relatively low cost. An extraction mechanism (82) is provided, having driven rollers (80,85) which may be activated from a state of disengagement with a partially printed sheet to a state of engagement with the sheet. The sheet is drawn forward sufficiently to enable the head to print lines adjacent to the trailing edge of the sheet. The extraction mechanism is actuated when a given reference position of the sheet with respect to the head is detected. A single service motor (84) and suitable cam means (86) drive the special mechanisms of the machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus receives an external signal, and includes (i) a received signal level determination section for detecting a power level of the received signal and (ii) a correlation detection/determination section for detecting a correlation associated with the received signal. Moreover, the wireless communication apparatus switches between reception standby states as required, the reception standby states, including: (a) a normal operation mode in which a shift to a reception state is determined in accordance with whether or not the correlation is detected by the correlation detection/determination section; and (b) a low power consumption mode in which the shift to the reception state is determined in accordance with whether or not a received signal power level is detected by the received signal level determination section. With this, power consumption can be reduced, but a range of reception power of a signal that can be received is not narrowed. That is, the power consumption of the communication apparatus can be reduced, and the communication apparatus is allowed to receive a signal whose reception power falls within a wide range.

Abstract: A vehicle bumper system (20) includes a beam (21), and an energy absorber (22) with top and bottom horizontal sections and a mid-horizontal section. The horizontal sections form top (26) and bottom (27) nose portions that are semi-rigid but initially collapsible with a parallelogram motion that shifts the top and bottom portions vertically up (or down) upon impact. Horizontal impact forces are converted in part to vertical forces during an initial stroke of a frontal impact, "catching" an impacted human being. Then during a further continuing impact stroke, the top and bottom horizontal sections provide a "throwing" action. End sections of the energy absorber extend around ends of a bumper beam, forming a collapsible corner that, during impact, initially absorbs energy at a low rate to "catch" a person, and then develops increasing lateral forces that "throw" the person during a continuing impact stroke.
